“I love porn. I watch tons of porn. The Internet speeds have evolved directly with my sexual drive.”
Seth Rogen, star of the upcoming Kevin Smith comedy, Zack and Miri Make A Porno.
When it came to signing on for the movie, Rogen says, “I almost did it purely based on the title.”
The comedy (which premieres Sunday at the Toronto International Film Festival) centers on Rogen (who has a nude scene) and his pal (Elizabeth Banks), who play lifelong BFFs who discover there may be something more to their relationship when they make a porn flick to pay off their debts.
Smith says he wrote the script with Rogen in mind.
“I started seeing billboards going up with his face on them and I was like, ‘We lost this guy,’” Smith says. “This dude was like a supporting actor in 40-Year-Old Virgin, and he’s just waiting for somebody to give him his own movie.”
When he sent Rogen an e-mail asking if he would read the screenplay, the actor shot back an answer within 2 minutes.
Says Rogen of Smith, “To me, he was like Steven Spielberg.”
Fun fact: The movie poster for Zack and Miri that you see above has been banned in the US, but not Canada. I wonder what kind of cleaned up poster they will produce for the American audiences. I doubt it will be as funny or clever as this one!
